India's Engineering Exports Rise 21% in June Led by Demand from US, China, Oman
India's engineering exports rose 21% year-on-year to $11.48 billion in June 2026, driven by strong demand from the US, China, Germany, and Oman. Exports to Oman surged over fivefold following the India-Oman free trade agreement, while shipments to China increased 74%. Despite shipping disruptions in the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, the sector showed resilience, contributing 28.4% to India's total merchandise exports. However, some panels like lead products and IC engines saw declines, and exports to UAE and Saudi Arabia fell.
